Doku Gyūkiō
Description
The demon in this print is the Ox Demon King, who at one point had been Son Gokū’s sworn brother. The leading Doku seems to mean something like “the only”.
His name is normally always (including in Japanese) written with a different second character for ‘demon’, 魔, and the name with that character is read Gyūmaō.
